Chapter 10: Descriptions of cob Error Messages

Any of the Micro Focus COBOL components invoked by the cob command may return their own error messages. These are documented in full in your Error Messages. However, in addition to these messages the cob command may output its own error messages. Most of these messages are self-explanatory, but the following are worthy of special note:

options clash: option-names
argument expected: option-name
entry defined: entryname-1 conflicting "main" found in entrypoint-2
entry: entryname does not have "main" defined
invalid entry point name: entryname
cobol version number invalid - Call Technical Support
I see no use for file-name
I see no work
COBOL compiler argument exceeds 128 byte limit
